Working with AJAX provides you with in-depth training on Developer. Taught by Simon Allardice as part of the JavaScript Essential Training

Working with AJAX

One of the reasons for the resurgence of JavaScript in recent years is the enormous popularity of what's come to be known as AJAX. Now, AJAX sounds like a separate technology or a language; it isn't. It's just a useful buzzword to describe a cool technique we can do with JavaScript. While it officially stands for Asynchronous JavaScript and XML, well, it's really more to do with AJAX being a good acronym than anything else, because it doesn't even require XML. As far as we're concerned, AJAX is JavaScript.

It's just a very specific use of it. What it means is that after a web page has opened in the user's browser, we can have JavaScript behind the scenes communicate back to the server, even pass and retrieve data, and update parts of the page without the entire page itself needing to reload. A simple example, if you've used, for example, Google, and started typing, and found it able to start to fill out the information that it thinks you're looking for and actually update the page as you'...

Download - JavaScript and AJAX- Lynda.com

The ability to read data and communicate information asynchronously is fundamental to modern web applications. In this course, author Ray Villalobos takes a look at integrating AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) with JavaScript and jQuery—a combination that makes it easy to work with dynamic data and reduces the number of requests to the server. The course first explains what AJAX is, and shows how to load and reload pages with pure JavaScript, update the DOM, and read and parse data in the XML and JSON formats. Next, learn how to read and write information between the server and the client with AJAX methods in jQuery, and build a dynamic search application that updates search results as you type.

Topics include:

• What is AJAX?
• Making requests asynchronous
• Updating the DOM with getElementById
• Reading JSON files
• Working with jQuery and AJAX
• Sending and searching JSON data
• Incorporating CSS transitions

download - Building a Website with Node.js and Express.js - Lynda

JavaScript is the language for adding interactivity to a website, but there's so much more it can do. Enter Node.js and Express.js, two technologies that extend the capabilities of JavaScript. The Node platform allows you to develop server-side applications with JavaScript that you can then easily publish as websites with the Express framework. In this course, Ray Villalobos walks through the entire process of creating a website on a server with Node.js and Express.js. After going over the installation process, Ray shows how to build a basic application, control the state of an application with routing, and use templates and partials. Then he demonstrates how to quickly structure a site with Express Generator, work with models and views, and publish the final website using Heroku.

Note: This course is intended for intermediate front-end web developers who are familiar with creating web projects and understand JavaScript basics.

Topics include:

• Installing Node.js and Express.js
• Exploring the node package manager (npm)
• Creating and modularizing routes
• Using templates
• Adding partials
• Using the Express Generator
• Preparing your site structure
